Our employees are working with passion for you

We are committed to ensuring that emergency personnel can gain their own operational experience in our training infrastructure. This gain of experience should be so intense and sustainable that trained and drilled emergency personnel can successfully and safely overcome the expected challenges with confidence.

The strategic management

Our Board of Directors consists of five members and is responsible for strategic planning and supervision of the Executive Board.

From left to right: Toni Hofer, Ruedi Ritter, Markus Grütter, Werner Schweizer (president), Philipp Stierli

The operative team

We would like to introduce you to our motivated team, who put their heart and soul into their work for you every day. We ensure that you will find optimal conditions for the training of emergency forces and that the participants can gain valuable operational experience.
